Please lemme vent!! (Warning-colorful language)

I just need a place to get this out. I had a hell of a day. One of my toddlers was up most of the night. I took her to the doctor today & she has a sinus infection that was making her eardrum bulge. Poor babe is super fussy.

We went into Walmart to pick up the prescription. Sick 2 year old insisted on walking instead of riding in the cart which is always a shitshow. She gets into everything & threw herself on the floor at the checkout because I wouldn't buy candy. I knew she felt awful so I tried to stay chill. By the time we got out of the store I was over it. She tried running in the parking lot & I kept grabbing her by the hood so she couldn't take off, while trying to push the cart & watch my 3 year old. I buckled them in...all the while YDD had her back arched screaming because she was pissed & over it.

I looked for the cart corral, but because I was kinda close to the store it was a ways down. It felt too far to leave the girls in the car, so in the next aisle over there was a random cart in an empty space. I jogged over to park mine next to it. Mind you...the store wasn't busy & there were loads of open parking spots. As I went to cross the lane a car came around the corner. The guy rolls down his window & yells at me, "seriously? You're gonna leave your fricken cart right there?" I was instantly pissed. I yelled back "yup, because I have 2 kids in the car & I'm not leaving them to take it all the way back there". Asshole responds with "whatever". I thought it was over til his wife rolls down the window & says "well then, honey. Why don't you get your butt back to your kids instead of arguing with him?" Of course I have to shoot back with "that asshole was the one who started running his mouth. All I was trying to do was get back in my car". I hop back in my car & buckle in & guys....that.mother.fucker. ran up with the cart & parked it sideways behind my car so I couldn't back up. I hopped back out & shoved the cart across the parking lot & screamed some variation of " fuck you, you fucking asshole. Get a life". Uggghhh!!!

Believe me, I know how stupid it is to engage. People are crazy & dangerous, but I was so livid I just wasn't thinking clearly. Also, I'm always the person who puts my cart back. I typically park right next to the corral & lock my car & walk it over. Today the spot was close to the store & there was snow & my sick toddler... so I parked there. đ¨

I almost hit a woman in the grocery store parking lot once. She looked right at me then as I was passing took a big step into the middle of the lot. No time to do anything but honk. She had the nerve to walk up to my car and yell at me for not paying attention then got offended when I cursed at her. Honey's lucky she didn't become my hood ornament and that I didn't get out of my car to give her a piece of my mind.

I try not to leave the cart ever either, but I understand where you are coming from and can't say I haven't done it in similar situations. If he was so concerned about it, he could have just been a nice person and put it back. People suck sometimes.Â

My 2 year old is always asking me for âwarm hugâ I feel like you need one. When Iâm stressed af I ask DH (dear husband) to bring me hot Cheetos and Smirnoff. My comfort food is pretty much my college diet lol.

When my kids are sick and im sleep deprived stay at least 10 feet away from me and proceed with caution

For the first time in my entire life I didnât put the cart back the other day because it was pouring down rain and I couldnât find a spot next to a corral like I usually do. I didnât feel comfortable leaving my kids in the car to go out of eyeshot either, and I definitely wasnât going to keep my infant out in a downpour any longer than I had to so I just said fuck it đ¤ˇââď¸

First, I hate it when people do not put their cart away w/o a good reason. Â You had a very good reason. Â Asshole could have popped out and put it away for you. Â A man did that for me once in a very similar situation. Â He was like "here, let me get that for you. Â Â Sorry your day sucked, hope your daughter feels better.

I don't understand why everyone has to be stupid as fuck about everything.Â Just go park somewhere else if that cart is bothering you.Â Or get out and move it. Jesus christ, starting an argument with a frazzled mother in a fucking parking lot over a cart? GET A JOB OR SOMETHING..
